If all you want to do is convert some AVIs for the iPad, as I often do, it couldn't be simpler: Select a format from the presets (e.g. iPad, iPod, iPhone, AppleTV, Android, Tablet), choose the output folder, drag the movie files into its window and click the "Process" button. I had tried other converter tools before, but they usually overwhelm me with too many options I do not care about for my needs. The only other tool I know that is as easy as this is Elgato's turbo.h264 HD.

by its description, handbrakepm can only use the cli's default presets. now, i have not used any of them but there's also handbrake batch: http://www.osomac.com/apps/osx/handbrake-batch/

Whatever preset I select it does not change the output size. If I load a 1280 x720 movie and select the "iPhone Legacy" I should not get a movie that is still 1280 x720.

I had hoped this wound have been built into HB itself but the developer forums folks said "each movie's transcoding should be hand tailored, blah blah blah..." I wanted to transcode a hundred Looney Tunes from the 50's and don't care if the quality is perfect, this is what I've been waiting for. Thanks.
